Transform Your Ideas About Libraries
Simon Says, A Newsletter
of the CSU Libraries
Vol. 14 No. 2, Spring 2016
Editor:
David Owings
Libraries are much different now than those of the past. Today libraries are vibrant
institutions where groups come together to solve problems collaboratively in an
environment conducive to inspiring creativity and discovery. This environment is fostered
by librarians with subject expertise who connect patrons to a vast network of resources,
both physical and electronic, rather than simply pointing users to a card catalog or to a
specific book on the shelf. CSU Libraries is at the vanguard of this transformation and
reimaging of the library as a center of learning rather than simply a warehouse of books.
Although we still offer designated places of quiet reflection and study, space dedicated
for group study is in ever increasing demand, as well as more sophisticated computer
and media labs. Moving forward to further consolidate the library as a center of learning
there are hopes of moving the Writing Center, and other tutoring centers within the
Library. This means that students working on research papers would have easy access
to resources and the ability to have their papers reviewed conveniently in the same
building. Similarly, a student struggling with math homework could easily walk across the
hall and receive help from a qualified math tutor.
Recognizing the many roles libraries now play across student learning and their
importance for academic success, this year’s theme for National Library week is
“Libraries Transform.” Please join us the week of April 10 as we celebrate with a number
of events including a 3D printing demonstration! Also, consider dropping by to speak with
one of our subject librarians about new and exciting resources that are continually
evolving here within the CSU Libraries.

What’s Hot in the Archives
The CSU Archives is continually acquiring new
collections to support faculty and student scholarship.
Some of the most interesting new collections received in
2015 include:
International Trombone Association
In 2014 the Archives acquired the records of the International
Trumpet Guild, and in 2015 the International Trombone
Association donated their records to the Archives. These two
collections dovetail magnificently placing the CSU Archives as a
premier music research institute in the world.
Litho-Krome Company Records
Litho-Krome, a locally founded company that revolutionized the
printing industry, closed in 2015. Before closing, the company
donated their records to CSU. In the collection are a number of
artifacts and art prints showcasing the lithographic printing
techniques pioneered by the company.
Historic Westville Records
CSU Archives has formed a partnership with Historic Westville
to care for their records. They have already transferred a large
portion of their material, with more to come after the move to
Columbus is completed.
Gloria Sampson’s Historic Churches and Temples
Artwork
Gloria Sampson’s watercolor paintings document architecture
and religion throughout Georgia showcasing some of the state’s
oldest and most interesting churches and temples. In addition
to her paintings, sketches showing her process and methods
are also part of the collection.
Jon Craig Papers
This collection of papers primarily documents Jon Craig’s
experience during World War II. The bulk of material consists of
letters, photographs, and sketches. Craig used his time abroad
as an opportunity to study local cultures with many of his
photographs and sketches documenting local life in the Pacific
theater.
Sample of Jon Craig’s artwork depicting local life in Fiji. The caption reads:
“Woman selling shell necklaces, Fiji Islands,” May 26, 1943.
Nuckolls Family Papers
Letters from the Nuckolls family show their life in Columbus
during the mid-19th century. Their business activities as well as
the family’s experience during the Civil War are both large parts
of the collection.

The Music Library recently received a large donation of principally jazz recordings from Sidney Kaminsky of Columbus.
Other areas represented in the collection include some popular blues, New Age, rock, and original motion picture
soundtracks.
Mr. Kaminsky, a former President of the Columbus Jazz Society, hosted a program on Georgia Public Radio for 12
years and, previously, on KCLU in Thousand Oaks and Santa Barbara, CA. We are thrilled to be adding 1,200 CDs and

Gimmick? No, It's Mc-not-one! — The McNaughton Book Collection at CSU
CSU Libraries has been participating in the McNaughton
lease plan since 2012. McNaughton is a subscription
service with Brodart Book & Library Services Company that
focuses on fulfilling the needs of modern libraries. Through
this plan, CSU Libraries leases popular adult books, fiction
and non-fiction, on a rotating basis. In turn, this allows CSU
faculty, students, and staff to check out any of these titles
for three weeks with their CSU ID cards! The display of
McNaughton books is located on the first floor of Schwob
Memorial Library on main campus.
Some of the McNaughton books currently available for
checkout are:
 Saban: The Making of a Coach
 A More Perfect Union: What We the People Can Do to
Reclaim Our Constitutional Liberties
 Whoopi’s Big Book of Relationships: I Sucked at a Lot
of Them So Now You Don’t Have To
 Black Flag: The Rise of ISIS

New Electronic Media Resources: Medici.tv and Kanopy Streaming
The CSU Libraries is happy to announce two new electronic resources free for you to use. Both of these offer access to
vast media databases of audio and visual material.
Medici.tv
Medici.tv is the largest online collection of classical, world music, and jazz music videos in the
world with an ever-growing catalog of over 1,600 on demand streaming films of concerts,
competitions, operas, dance, documentaries, master classes, and artist profiles. This footage
features internationally renowned musicians from the past such as Maria Callas, David Oistrakh,
and Mstislav Rostropovich as well as current artists Gustavo Dudamel, Anna Netrebko, Bryn
Terfel, and CSU’s Alexander Kobrin. In addition to archived footage, hundreds of live events are
streamed annually from leading international festivals and major music venues such as
Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Teatro alla Scala, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
This new digital media resource supports in-depth study across the arts and enables students to
explore repertoire, technique, choreography, historical studies, production, and different
interpretations as well as discover the intersection of the performing arts with other disciplines
such as education, politics, and international studies.
Students and faculty may browse for videos by performer, composer, conductor, type of
performance, movie director, and musical period; or conduct a keyword search. Access
medicit.tv on your Mac or PC from the GALILEO homepage, or other digital devices via mobile
app. Off campus access will require authentication with your Novell username and password.
To access medici.tv visit: http://www.galileo.usg.edu/express?link=med4-col1
Kanopy Streaming
Kanopy is a new on-demand film streaming database. Sometimes called “Netflix for Colleges” it provides access to over 26,000 films.
The service has been praised by universities with over 12 million students and faculty across the globe using the service. Kanopy’s

CSU Libraries Support Sustainability Using Your Donations
Improving stewardship through sustainability is one of the top priorities of the university’s strategic plan. CSU Libraries
has worked diligently, using a number of initiatives to manage our resources more efficiently, and to increase the
amount of material we recycle. To date, CSU Libraries has recycled more than 13,000 pounds of books, over 300
pounds of VHS tapes, 150 pounds of 3-ring binders, and is currently working with state and local vendors to recycle
metal, plastic, and electronic products. This has been made possible largely due to the generous donations of books
and other materials we have received over the years.
Once books are donated to the CSU Libraries, they undergo an inventory and review process as our subject librarians
consider them for our collections. Those books not placed into our collections are then added to our annual library book
sale. For well over a decade, CSU Libraries has been hosting an annual book sale as a way to recycle donated books.
This event benefits both students and community members with inexpensive resource materials while yielding a small
amount of revenue for library needs. For years, books not sold were either retained for the next year’s sale, or donated
to local charities. Books which were damaged, moldy, or outdated had to be thrown out as there were no other options
available at the time, and eventually ended up in the city landfill. However, a chance to pair up with a local company
presented itself, allowing us to recycle these books rather than send them to the landfill.
Nearly three years ago, an outside vendor, Caraustar, who had already been working with the CSU Printing Services for
years, proposed a recycling plan for us. The idea was for the library to collect and store unusable books which would
later be transported to a pulping mill where they would eventually become cardboard of various grades. This notion was
very appealing as the landfill alternative was taken out of the picture and it helped to complete the donation cycle. So, in
2013, CSU Libraries partnered with Caraustar to begin recycling books, and in the process, began receiving outside
donations from local Columbus patrons, the Muscogee County Friends of Libraries, the Columbus Ledger Enquirer, and
other local businesses. Though the original vendor relocated its Columbus facility to Atlanta in 2014, CSU Libraries has
continued to keep the donation cycle going. In 2015, CSU Libraries partnered with Goodwill Industries to not only
recycle books, but other donated items such as VHS tapes and 3-ring binders.
This is an ongoing commitment we are truly excited about as we continually work to make the donation process as
green as possible, and “minimize waste and optimally recycle material resources to protect natural systems” as outlined
in our Library strategic plan. CSU faculty, staff, and alumni have a large part to play in this as well. Please consider
donating your books and other media to the CSU Libraries. All donations are tax deductible.
